Aim: The aim with this review was to map what has been published on patients’ experiences of the patient–nurse relationship, in a remote patient monitoring setting. Background: In person-centered care interpersonal relationships are considered a foundation. As remote patient monitoring is increasing within healthcare there are potential relational impacts to be considered. However, there is limited knowledge on patients’ experiences of the patient–nurse relationship during remote monitoring. Method: A scoping review was conducted, including searches in four databases. During the initial screening, 9,001 abstracts were reviewed. A total of 31 studies were finally included in the review, representing four continents. A thematic analysis was performed, resulting in three main clusters with underlying themes. Results: The results showed that generally, remote monitored patients had a positive experience of the patient–nurse relationship. An active and present nurse facilitated this and made the patients feel safe, supported and recognised. Responsibility was perceived as something being shared between the patient and the nurse, making them a team. However, there were also some negative experiences, such as dependency on the caregiver, lacking guidance and even feeling lonely. In addition, ending the monitoring could bring stress to some patients.Conclusion: Even though remote patient monitoring is based on technology, it is most definitely an activity dependent on the human-to-human relationship. Remote monitoring can be person-centered, if delivered with consideration. Health care professionals and organizations should be aware of how to integrate person-centered care within remote patient monitoring, but also how remote monitoring itself can benefit person-centered care.
